Microneedling in Nashville
Cortina Dermatology & Aesthetics offers microneedling consultations for patients interested in improving texture, acne scarring, pores, skin quality, and collagen support with a treatment plan tailored to their skin.
A Skin Quality Treatment for Texture and Collagen Support
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to support the body’s natural repair process and collagen remodeling.
At Cortina, microneedling is planned around your skin type, texture concerns, acne scarring, pigment risk, downtime tolerance, and whether it should be used alone or as part of a broader treatment plan.
Common Microneedling Goals
Texture and Pores
For patients interested in smoother looking skin, refined texture, and improvement in the appearance of visible pores.
Acne Scarring
For selected acne scarring concerns where collagen remodeling may help improve the look of uneven skin texture over time.
Skin Quality
For patients looking for a treatment option focused on overall skin quality, firmness, and a healthier appearing surface.
Microneedling May Be Part of an Acne Scar Plan
Microneedling can be considered for certain types of acne scarring, especially when the goal is gradual improvement in texture and collagen support.
Active acne should usually be controlled before moving into scar focused procedures. If breakouts are still ongoing, your provider may recommend starting with medical acne care before planning microneedling. You can also learn more on our Acne & Acne Scarring page.
What a Microneedling Plan May Include
Consultation First
Your provider will evaluate your skin, goals, treatment history, acne activity, pigment risk, and whether microneedling is appropriate.
Series Based Care
Many patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced over time, depending on the concern and how the skin responds.
Combination Options
Microneedling may be combined with PRP or other treatment strategies when appropriate for the patient and goal.
When PRP May Be Added
PRP, or platelet rich plasma, is sometimes discussed as an add-on to microneedling when the goal is to support skin quality and regenerative treatment planning.
Whether PRP makes sense depends on your skin, goals, and the treatment plan. You can also review our PRP page for more detail.
Your Microneedling Visit
Your visit begins with a consultation to review your concerns, skincare routine, prior treatments, acne activity, pigment history, and downtime tolerance.
If treatment is appropriate, your provider will discuss the treatment area, number of sessions, expected recovery, aftercare, and whether microneedling should be used alone or with another treatment.
Pricing & Insurance
Microneedling is an elective cosmetic treatment and is self pay. Insurance does not cover cosmetic microneedling or acne scar procedures.
During consultation, the team can review your goals, recommended series, whether PRP is appropriate, and treatment pricing.
